“If you’re gay or transgender, I love you. And if anyone gives you any shit, tell em Charles says f*ck you!” - Charles Barkley pic.twitter.com/c1tUbvX5ga— Ned Balme (@NedBalmeLives) July 15, 2022
In Barkley's defense, never once have I heard him cast blame or aspersions onto the houseless people themselves, and San Francisco (in my opinion) fucking sucks. It's genuinely depressing with how insanely rampant the homeless / addiction / housing affordability / access problems are, and how disgustingly indifferent the lib brogrammer population is. You can't walk one block without seeing a human being in abject misery.
You are correct that Charles does not use his platform to effectively point out the roots of these problems, ie capitalist land speculation. But in a just world, San Francisco as it exists today would burn.
he's used right wing talking points/phrasing talking about san francisco, houseless people, evidence of poverty, etc. super casual classist shit
